Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.

Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Babies benefit from playing outside and going on regular walks around the local area. Two-year-olds develop their physical skills in the sand. Older children show skill as they ride bikes and climb up and down the climbing frame.
Activities: Children engage in a range of interesting play experiences, supported by staff.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Scheduled physical education sessions in the summer term support children to develop their physical skills. They are also used to help children to learn how to successfully undress and re-dress themselves.
Communication: Parents speak very highly of the staff team. They confirm that they are provided with clear information about their child, including their achievements.
Programs and Resources: Staff quickly identify any children who are at risk of falling behind in their development. The special educational needs coordinator liaises with staff, parents and other professionals when needed, to ensure each child receives the full support they need.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children are well cared for by a kind, caring, attentive staff team.
Safeguarding Training: Staff and management have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities to protect children from potential harm. They all remain vigilant for possible indicators of abuse and take immediate and relevant action when required to safeguard children.
Play and Learning Integration: Children are encouraged to share, interact positively, and learn to listen during group time activities.
Transition to Primary School: Scheduled physical education sessions in the summer term support children to develop their physical skills and independence.
Child Safety Management: Children are supervised well. Robust recruitment and induction procedures are in place to help ensure the suitability of staff working with children.
Children's Safety and Security: Children who are new to the nursery and feel unsettled are offered lots of comfort and reassurance. This helps them to begin to feel settled, safe and secure.
Teaching Personal Safety: Staff help children to learn to vocalise their needs and to recognise and deal appropriately with their emotions.
Happiness and Settling: Children show confidence and behave well as they relate well to the staff team.
Nutritional Menu: Children learn about healthy eating as they plant a range of herbs, fruits and vegetables. They learn where foods come from and, as they have helped to grow them, it also encourages them to try new foods.

From the Appletree Nursery
We are a charitable organisation situated in North Sheffield's Grenoside Park, which is safe and quiet and provides quick access to the A61 and M1.
The childcare at Appletree Childcares has received a Good rating from OFSTED (October 2016).
We have more information and a link to the study on our Nursery website.
Additionally, Grenoside-based Appletree Childcares clubs received a Good rating from OFSTED (February 2018).
Baby Bramleys 3 months to 2 years, Blossoming Braeburns 2-3 years, and Pre-School Pippins 3 years and older are the three age groups served by our nursery.
Pre-School Pippins accepts children up to the age of 8, so we may assist with covering school inset days.
All kids are welcome to join the Holiday Club, which is open during school breaks (excluding Bank holidays and the Christmas break).
We collaborate with Sheffield City Council's Special Needs Inclusion Play Care Service and accept kids with special needs.
Established in 1994, Appletree Childcare first offered after-school programmes in 2000.
Appletree is now governed by a Board of Trustees made up of members of the neighbourhood community and the staff team after owner Janet Parkin made the decision in 2008 to turn the business into a charity.
This implies that all revenue is reinvested back into the company to pay for staff salaries, building rent, toys and educational materials, food and drink, etc.
